Hello fearless freaks!
The news of Steven's departure from the band this week has understandably been difficult for this community. There's been a lot of speculation and discussion surrounding the reasons behind it, and a lot of blame being thrown in every direction. It also feels like an old wound has been reopened, with a lot of strong feelings from previous band member exits resurfacing as well. I'm not sure what Wayne is planning to post later, but I can imagine it may only stoke the flames further.
As a moderation team, we are not taking sides on this split and encourage continued discussion from all viewpoints. While our aim is usually to keep the vibes positive, it'd be disingenuous for us to pretend this isn't happening and that it doesn't suck. We don't think a megathread is necessary yet, but will be monitoring new posts closely to prevent this topic from overtaking the feed.
We also want to remind everyone of Rule 3: be civil and respectful to others. The last thing we want is for this space to turn into a battleground between different factions of the fanbase. At the end of the day, we're all here because we share a love for the music of The Flaming Lips! Please keep that in mind and be courteous to others.
This rule also applies to how you speak about the band members directly. You are allowed to be critical of band member conduct, but personal attacks, insults, and over-the-line speculation regarding private lives will not be tolerated. It is not the environment we want to cultivate.
Please report any rule-breaking behavior when you see it—we are a small mod team and it will help us out a ton.
This community is usually great about this, but it felt important to reiterate the message as we continue to navigate this transition. To quote A Change At Christmas (Say It Isn't So): "I think its all gonna work out just fine."

Hey all! I’m wanting my baby’s nursery, (and my house!) to have a Flaming Lips kind of vibe.
How might you explain that and what how would YOU interpret it?
It’s def not hippie psychedelic but is psychedelic and I can’t seem to articulate it in a way that makes sense/ allows me to shop for it😅
Thanks!!
Edit: something that feels like their concerts

Anybody got any insights or guesses as to why this song isn't on the Mystics anniversary boxes?
This is one of Steven Drozd's best ever tunes and I've loved it dearly for the last 20 years. Still not officially released anywhere, as far as I know. I thought it might be because of it just being his solo thing or because of some licensing issue - but "Smokin' a J" is on there; that's also from the film and I think that's just Steven? 🤷♂️

I've been completely obsessed with that guitar part for a few years now. Sometimes it makes me tear up just thinking about it. It feels like getting a hug from someone after you were just really vulnerable with each other. And it's so simple!
So far I've listened to Soft Bulletin, Yoshimi, and The Mystics. As for other artists, two songs where the guitar is similarly beautiful are Nude by Radiohead and New Grass by Talk Talk.

Bad Days so awkwardly placed in this movie

Also, why was Harvey basically Joker?

I know everyone is excited about the re-re-re-re-re-releases and so on, but I’m only thinking about the new material.

Anyone have a way to get in to this? Or any statusy rich people want to hang with a plebeian?
The event is being put on by SoHo House, an organization with the core principle of “ew poor people”

Many years ago I watched a ripped dvd of zaireeka mixed down with movie footage montages, it was absolutely epic, does it still exist out there somewhere? I believe it was a 5.1 mix, and had the band's blessing provided it was given away free. I remember it had different versions - perfectly aligned, or a slightly misaligned version (having four people press play will always have a slight slight misalignment in timing so it was a more 'natural' mix), or just certain discs at a time, like 2+3 or 2+4. I haven't thought about or seen reference to it for a long long time but it was amazing so hope it's still out there. The artistic choices of the movies cut up were very clever and sticks with me still whenever I hear any of the tracks. And who made it? I hope they know how amazing what they did was.

Was just listening back through "Due to High Expectations...." and was reminded that for some reason the album ends with a minute or so of what would later become "The Train runs Over the Camel..." from Zaireeka. I just wanted to ask does any one know why it's there. It's interesting to know it was being worked on this early in the 90s and I feel it fits the sound they had at the time. But it's still kind of weird it was just slapped at the end there.

I recently received this in the mail but I’m currently going through a financial hurdle at the moment. Only opened for proof of signature and only flipped through a few times. Near mint condition. Offers accepted. Thank you guys 🙏

Does anybody have footage from watching the fireflies glow last night? During the song, Wayne recognized me and said my name (Dexter) on stage. But, it was the second I stopped recording. Does anyone have the full songs footage or just a part of it that might have the footage I’m looking for.

Seeing the band at Bourbon and Beyond this weekend. Since they aren’t on tour, wondering what current merch they’re bringing to festivals. Anyone know?

Went to B&B last year and loved it. This year it’s a dream lineup with the Lips, Violent Femmes, Cracker and a ton of artists I’m excited to hear for the first time!

I was at the The Soft Bulletin (Noise Pop show) at Bimbo’s 365 Club, 2/21/2012 (San Francisco).
I have honestly seen hundreds of live shows and this was one of the standouts if not, the absolute number one live music experience of my life.
I’ve hoarded all the clips off of YouTube, but have yet to find the soundboard recording/documentation of the show.
Does anyone know of such a thing exists?
